Dans la collection Ristretto des Éditions Vivat, Boris Parmeland propose un voyage bref et saisissant au cœur de ce que l'art a de plus fugitif. Ephem'art capte le frisson d'un instant et interroge la trace de ce qui passe, avant de s'évanouir.

Un écrin sonore qui donne envie de revenir, encore, à ce qui passe - et à ce qui reste.

A poem about the impending turn of fortunes for Humans when AI becomes of age. When it is no longer a computer programme, nor a chess or Go Master, but a possible thinking sentient being with a mind of its own! What humans may take from it, how will they react. Will they easily accept it, become accustomed to AI being a potential competitor, or will they go into a spiral of decay. The poem touches on these points and suggests a way out, that possibly AI will never have regardless of how intelligent it becomes.

You wake up. The world is still there. But something feels… off. Something has shut down. Not outside. Inside. It is not war. It is not artificial intelligence. It is you. Humanity—a system that no longer believes in itself. While we eat plastic food, stay silent in the face of injustice, drink bottled water, and whisper, “it will last for my time”—the system quietly scans us: who we are, what we have become…and whether there is still a chance. Deep beneath the surface, a code pulses. It does not punish. It analyzes. And when it sees the structure is broken—it restarts.

The remnants of humanity fled outward, hollowing asteroids into massive generational starships—self-contained cities drifting between the stars. Destiny is one of them.

John is eager to start a new life, until tragedy strikes at the heart of Lost Town. Restarting from scratch isn't ideal, but the locals will do anything to succeed.

Earth’s planetary shield still holds, but Hydra is no longer testing its strength. The viral intelligence unleashed by the Novum Gift is hunting the cryptographic keys that govern humanity’s last line of defense, probing, duplicating, and adapting faster than any response can counter.

Marek is one of the best. An elite social engineer operating alone with a powerful AI, he is hired by corporate and political clients to solve problems that no longer respond to argument or ideology. He does not argue. He optimizes. He believes the system still holds.
